SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) \u2014 The ex-wife of a Los Angeles Angels employee on Tuesday said the MLB team failed her drug-addicted husband during a trial over the fatal overdose of one of its star pitchers.<\/p>\n

Camela Kay testified that she previously had seen Angels players partying<\/a>, drinking and passing around pills on the team plane when she traveled with her then-husband Eric Kay, the team’s communications director. In 2019, after her husband was hospitalized for a drug overdose, she said she heard that he had pills intended for pitcher Tyler Skaggs, and shared the information with the team’s traveling secretary.<\/p>\n
